8.7.4 Configuring the Enterprise Server for SSL
Communications with the iFolder Client
By default, the iFolder enterprise server is configured to require SSL. All iFolder client
communication to the server is encrypted using the SSL protocol. In most deployments, this setting
should not be changed because iFolder uses HTTP BASIC for authentication, which means
passwords are sent to the server in the clear. Without SSL encryption, the iFolder data is also sent in
the clear.
To modify the setting, edit the SSL parameters in the
appSettings
section of the
/opt/
novell/ifolder3/web/web.config
file on the enterprise server.
To configure secure Web traffic with SSL, modify the value of SimiasRequireSSL to Yes and the
SimiasSSLPort to 443. For example:
<appSettings>
<add key="SimiasRequireSSL" value="yes" />
<add key="SimiasSSLPort" value="443" />
</appSettings>
To configure insecure Web traffice with HTTP BASIC, modify the value of SimiasRequireSSL to
No and the SimiasSSLPort to 80. For example:
<appSettings>
<add key="SimiasRequireSSL" value="no" />
<add key="SimiasSSLPort" value="80" />
</appSettings>
8.7.5 Configuring the Enterprise Server for SSL
Communications with the Web Access Server
By default, the iFolder enterprise server is configured to communicate via SSL with the iFolder Web
Access server. For most deployments, this setting should not be changed. If the iFolder deployment
is small and the Web Access server co-exists on the same machine as the iFolder enterprise server,
an Administrator could reconfigure to disable SSL, which would increase the performance of local
communications between the two servers.
Communications between the two servers are governed by the Web access server’s settings for SSL
traffic. For information, see
Section 9.5.3, “Configuring the Web Access Server for SSL
Communications with the Enterprise Server,” on page 100
.
8.7.6 Configuring an SSL Certificate for the Enterprise Server
For information, see
“Managing SSL Certificates for Apache” on page 133
